- We are back in the airport. 🙄
- They found a plane, and got the engineers to sign it off. But now it doesn't work, so the engineers probably shouldn't have signed it off. Back to the stand 😩
- My flight is delayed because basically BA forgot to take the aircraft out of the hangar 🤦♂️
- Reposted by Dr Richard GomerMinneapolis is under siege from our authoritarian regime. Another person was murdered this morning. Everyone who isn't speaking out, every lawmaker and leader who isn't throwing their body into the gears to stop ICE... Which side are you on?
- Reposted by Dr Richard GomerICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.
- Reposted by Dr Richard GomerEvery single person doing ICE watch in Minnesota is doing it knowing that they’re putting their bodies and lives on the line and every ICE agent and cop would shoot at their shadow if it startled them. That’s not professionalism, that’s being a coward.
- "The work expands to fill the time available." Never f***ing compresses, though, does it?! #workProblems
- Southampton Greens are campaigning against student accommodation at Avenue campus: "[they] are not going to enhance the area at all because they already have a lot of students living in the area." Southampton urgently needs homes unlocked. We've had enough of this nimby-induced housing crisis.
- Yawn. More proof that Reform is the same old Tory shit, just coming from an event bigger arsehole.

- As if it weren't clear already: the US will not honour its commitments; deals with US are worth nothing; and the US does not share our interests. UK gov should be going full tilt to increase trade and defence links with Europe, and putting this "ally" at arms length. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

- Reposted by Dr Richard GomerThe ICE discussions around perceived lack of deference to authority somehow justifying violence are reminding me of this.

- An update! My average unit cost for grid electricity last year (excluding standing charge and ignoring solar) was about 15.5p. That's a *lot* better than any flat rate tariff, and about 4p/kWh better than the unweighted average for Octopus Agile*. Not bad!
- Reposted by Dr Richard GomerThis is exactly why I strongly opposed the move to strip Shamima Begum of her citizenship. Plenty of Brits have dual citizenship, often through a parent, or have access to another citizenship whether they intend to take it up or not, including all Jewish people & most people born in Northern Ireland
- I bought a 2-in-1 thinkpad to use as a smart home dashboard, and wowwww they are nice devices! You mean, laptops don't have the creak and flex when you pick them up?! 🤯 #workOnlyGivesMeADell

- Reposted by Dr Richard GomerWe’re now up to 22 ex-Tory MPs joining reform. It’s not subtle - every day clearer this is just a rebranding of the nutty fringe of the Conservative Party offering to rerun the Truss/Johnson omnishambles
- VPN use in the UK is up massively, some companies - specifically pizza delivery - need to catch up 👀 Dominos gives an error, papajohns puts you into a redirect loop. FML. I don't want to configure split tunnels for this, just take my money (GBP)!

- Reposted by Dr Richard Gomerthere’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything
- Corbyn and Sultana spend months in a leadership fight. Both lose. People these days can't even wait until December before they start delivering Christmas miracles 😤
- Dear @the-independent.com - I have not read THIS article yet, but you've made it virtually impossible to do so. Just ghastly UX. 🤦♂️

- This batshit weirdo wants us to go back the 4th century? How could anyone think this was worth uttering? Let alone that it might constitute a 'point'? She has absolutely melted her own brain on X.
- I mean, yes? People don't like that his politics are being a massive racist bellend all the time?
- Sad to see LibDems MPs still peddling this cynical disinformation. Farmers still get the first £1m tax free, and the rest at half the rate everyone else pays on an inheritance. Either we tax inheritance or we don't - rural landowners shouldn't get special treatment.
- The gaming industry is in a very bad place. Today I cannot play a game because the launcher cannot show me a CAPTCHA. Jesus wept.

- I'm quite uneasy with this Prostate Cancer Screening discourse. Either we let scientists make informed decisions and trust them, or we let politicians take it out of their hands. Genuine Q: Why do politicians believe that they know better in this case?
- Reposted by Dr Richard GomerGreat to read this table, the week after my institution announces a voluntary severance programme, to see the government introducing a policy that will cost us an extra *£13 million*

- Reposted by Dr Richard GomerCan we go back to the days when politicians said that they really wanted to help people but it’s very hard and takes time, rather than saying that they want to hurt people and can do it quickly?

- Reposted by Dr Richard GomerI wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world? Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)
- Good for us.
